Question
Answer
Fluids of the body   show
🗑
Composed of plasma, variety of cells   show
🗑
show interstitial fluid  
🗑
Flow of nutrients and oxygen   show
🗑
Flow of wastes   show
🗑
show transportation of O2, CO2, metabolic waste, nutrients, heat, hormones; regulation of pH via buffers, regulation of body temperature; protection from disease and loss of blood  
🗑
Physical characteristics of blood   show
🗑
Components of blood   show
🗑
show 90% water, 7% plasma proteins  
🗑
Hematocrit   show
🗑
Anemia   show
🗑
Polycythemia   show
🗑
Normal hemoglobin range   show
🗑
Blood plasma   show
🗑
show created in liver, confined to the bloodstream; consist of albumin, globulins, and fibrinogen  
🗑
show plasma protein; contributes to blood osmotic pressure, used for transport  
🗑
show plasma protein; contributes to defense against foreign particles  
🗑
show plasma protein; contributes to clotting  
🗑
show RBCs, WBCs, platelets  
🗑
White blood cells (leukocytes)   show
🗑
show 5 million/drop  
🗑
Normal WBC count   show
🗑
Platelet count   show
🗑
show occurs only in red marrow of flat bones like sternum, ribs, skull, pelvis, ends of long bones; most types need to be continually replaced because they die within weeks or days  
🗑
show contain oxygen carrying protein hemoglobin  
🗑
show bioconcave disk  
🗑
show bioconcave disk shape gives increased surface area/volume ratio, allows for flexibility to pass through narrow passages, it has no nucleus or organelles, and no mitochondrial ATP formation  
🗑
Hemoglobin   show
🗑
show each can carry four oxygen molecules; acts as a buffer and balances pH of blood; transports 23% of total CO2 waste from tissue cells to lungs for release  
🗑
Hemoglobin ranges   show
🗑
RBC life cycle   show
🗑
Processing of “retired” RBCs   show
🗑
show production of RBCs; proerythroblast starts to produce hemoglobin; nucleus ejected, reticulocyte is formed, escapes from bone marrow into blood; ejects organelles, matures into RBC; factors required are erythropoietin (kidneys), vitamin B12, iron  
🗑
show stimulus--tissue hypoxia; kidneys detect reduced O2 capacity of blood, release erythropoietin; e.poietin catalyzes proerythroblast dev in red marrow into reticulocytes; more reticulocytes enter blood and become erythrocytes; O2 carrying capacity increases  
🗑
White blood cell   show
🗑
show fastest response of all WBC to bacteria and parasites; direct actions against bacteria—release lysozymes, release defensing proteins that act like antibiotics, release strong oxidants that destroy bacteria  
🗑
Basophil   show
🗑
show WBC; leaves capillaries to enter tissue fluid; release histaminase, slows down inflammation; attack parasitic worms, phagocytize antibody-antigen complexes  
🗑
Monocyte   show
🗑
Lymphocyte   show
🗑
show detection of changes in numbers of circulating WBCs; indicates infection, poisoning, leukemia, chemotherapy, parasites, or allergic reaction  
🗑
Normal WBC counts   show
🗑
show disc-shaped cell fragment with no nucleus; normal count is 150,000-400,000/drop blood; form in marrow; short life span; aged ones removed by fixed macrophages in spleen; release ADP and other chemicals needed for platelet plug formation  
🗑
Platelet formation   show
🗑
show stoppage of bleeding in a quick and localized fashion when blood vessels are damaged; prevents hemorrhage; methods—vascular spasm, platelet plug formation, blood clotting  
🗑
Vascular spasm   show
🗑
Platelet plug formation   show
🗑
Platelet adhesion   show
🗑
Platelet release action   show
🗑
show activated platelets stick together and activate new platelets to form a mass called platelet plug; plug is reinforced by fibrin threads formed during clotting process  
🗑
show substances required are Ca++, enzymes made by liver cells (clotting factors), substances released by platelets/damaged tissues; cascade of reactions in which clotting factor activates next in fixed sequence resulting in formation of fibrin threads  
🗑
show reactions in which blood is transformed from liquid to gel; follows extrinsic and intrinsic pathways; final three steps—prothrombin activator formed, prothrombin converted to thrombin, thrombin catalyzes polymerization of fibrinogen into fibrin mesh.  
🗑
Pathways to prothrombin activator   show
🗑
Intrinsic pathway   show
🗑
show takes seconds; damaged tissue leaks tissue factor thromboplastin into blood; activates FVII, which combines w/ Ca2 & clotting FVII to make FVII tissue factor complex, which activates FX, which complexes w/ Ca2, PF3, FV to make prothrominase  
🗑
show prothrominase+Ca2 catalyze prothrombin to thrombin; thrombin+Ca2 catalyze fibrinogen into fibrin; fibrin strands form basis of clot; fibrin causes plasma to be gel trap; fibrin+Ca2 activate FXIII that crosslinks fibrin mesh, strengthens/stabilizes clot  
🗑
Clot dissolution   show
🗑
show clot formed in unbroken blood vessel; attached to rough inner lining of BV; slow flowing blood allows clot factors to build up and cause coagulation; may dissolve and travel  
🗑
Embolus   show
🗑
show determined by presence/absence of surface antigens; glycoproteins, glycolipids; antigens A, B, and Rh(D); antibodies in plasma; cross reactions occur when antigens meet antibodies  
🗑
Blood type A   show
🗑
show surface antigen for B, anti-A antibodies  
🗑
show surface antigen for A and B; no antibodies  
🗑
show no surface antigen; antibodies for both anti-A and anti-B  
🗑
RH blood groups   show
🗑
Rh and moms   show
🗑
show AB blood “universal recipients” since no antibodies in plasma, only true if cross match the blood for other antigens; type O blood “universal donors” since have no antigens on cells; theoretically can be given to anyone  
🗑
iron-deficiency anemia   show
🗑
show lack of intrinsic factor for B12 absorption  
🗑
hemorrhagic anemia   show
🗑
show defects in cell membranes cause rupture  
🗑
show hereditary deficiency of hemoglobin  
🗑
aplastic anemia   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
